That would work so much better if they actually bothered to fill in the "my text" part.

The Twin Cities newspaper

That would be the St. Paul Pioneer Press. It's the 'second' paper of the Twin Cities after the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

There's something seriously wrong about taking the head off a Jesus doll and putting a peep on it, since the image of the rabbit is, after all, derived from the pagans. But, judging by the person's comments, she seems to think it's a tribute or something. Whatever makes you happy.

Some good efforts here, which I'm not sure were fully appreciated by the judges. First Place went to a diorama where the focus was more on the set than on the staging of peeps per se. I mean, call me a peep purist, but I want to see the dramatic expression of an idea through peeps recognized as the essential element of this artform.

And it's a far second.

Continuing the peeps in action theme, here's a library that used them to show how to conduct research and behave yourself while at the library:
